Ryanair starting new routes from Hamburg today
More choice for passengers: Seven additional Ryanair destinations in summer timetable
Ryanair is further expanding its route network from Hamburg Airport for the summer season. The Irish airline is focussing even more on sun and beach destinations in Italy, Greece, Portugal and Spain. Katowice in Poland is also new. Today, Ryanair officially celebrated the start of the new routes in Ham-burg.
“There is great demand amongst our passengers for flights to attractive European des-tinations,” says Dr. Jörgen Kearsley, General Manager Aviation Marketing at Hamburg Airport. “There is a trend here, that passengers are not just travelling by plane once a year, but three or perhaps even five times. The diverse range of destinations served by Ryanair suits this need well.”
Bella Italia: fly Ryanair to Verona, Venice Treviso and Lamezia Terme
Ryanair’s summer timetable has a clear focus on sun and swimming destinations in Ita-ly. Ryanair began operating the Hamburg-Verona route on 27 March. There are now flights to the home of “Romeo and Juliet” every Monday and Friday. A Calabrian desti-nation has returned to the timetable with Lamezia Terme. Flights from Hamburg to this destination in southern Italy began on 28 March, operating on Tuesday and Saturday. And on 26 March, Ryanair commenced flights to Venice Treviso, flying Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday. The airport is only a short train ride from the picturesque lagoon city.
